I actually have a metadata plugboard setup to send series info to my Clara and that has been working great since I got the device. The series shows below the title in the book list.
Before the firmware update, the book in question showed no series, as expected. After the update, NOVEL showed up under the title. Plus, it showed as number 11 in the series, which tells me there are more books not loaded on the Clara. Also, on the new series tab, NOVEL shows as a series with that book in it.
All books are sideloaded with calibre and I don't sync with Kobo, so it doesn't come from there.
I removed the book from the Clara, ran Modify epub and reloaded it. Disconnected and reconnected and the series was gone.
I'm just trying to figure out the other 10 or more books that seem to be in that series but it doesn't show up anywhere in calibre. I have quite a few books and don't want to run Modify epub on all of them.
I guess loading all books not in series on the Clara would give me a list. Just hoping there was another way to identify them.
Thanks for replying davidfor.

If you meant that there was a series in the Series tab called "NOVEL", then it had to come from Kobo. At the version of calibre you were running, that was the only way for this to get populate. But, from the rest, I think you just mean in the main book list.
Using the Modify epub didn't make any changes. And in fact, with that option set, it would have removed the series information from the book. But, if you sent the book to the device using calibre, all that removed metadata would have been added again. But, the Kobo devices do not read the series information from sideloaded books, so it didn't really matter.
What actually happened is that you cleaned up the metadata in calibre and connected the device. The driver updated the metadata in the device database. That included setting the series info to whatever you currently have for the book.
Just use calibre to cleanup the metadata in the library and then connect the device. That works for sideloaded books. You can update purchased books, but, a sync will probably reset the metadata.
